Dallas, TX – INVEX, the provider of the INVEX metal ERP platform, has announced INVEX AI, a strategic initiative focused on bringing artificial intelligence directly into the operational workflows of metal service centers, processors, distributors, and tube mills. At the center of the INVEX AI initiative is Ivy, Invera’s AI assistant designed specifically for the metals industry, which includes Ivy’s Help, Data insights, and Agents
The INVEX AI initiative positions INVEX as an intelligent enterprise platform for the metals industry, enabling AI to move beyond simple conversations into real operational workflows across sales, inventory, production, planning, shipping, and customer service.
By combining AI capabilities with INVEX’s deep metal industry functionality, companies will be able to interact with ERP data using natural language, automate repetitive operational tasks, and accelerate decision-making, while maintaining human oversight and existing business controls.
3 Key Areas of Focus
Built directly into the INVEX platform, INVEX Ivy combines large language model (LLM) technology with INVEX’s operational ERP infrastructure to help users access information faster, interact with business data using natural language, and execute prompt-driven tasks inside INVEX.
The INVEX AI roadmap focuses on three primary areas:
Ivy Help
AI-powered assistance trained on INVEX documentation, user guides, and support resolutions to help users quickly learn workflows and resolve questions.
Ivy Insight
Natural-language access to operational ERP data, allowing users to ask business questions such as inventory availability, aging reservations, shipment status, planning exceptions, and customer activity without requiring separate BI tools or dashboards.
Ivy Agents
AI agents capable of assisting with operational activities inside INVEX, including order creation and management, planning tasks, configuration assistance, and warehouse processes.
Through the INVEX AI chatbot, users can issue instructions to Ivy to create a quote or sales order, change an order due date, apply pricing changes, or close an order.
AI, built on a metal ERP foundation
Built on a modern services-oriented architecture with REST APIs, microservices, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectivity, INVEX AI is designed to allow large language models (LLMs) and AI agents to safely interact with enterprise ERP data and processes.
INVEX AI is designed around a “human-in-the-loop” approach, ensuring users remain in control of operational decisions while leveraging AI to reduce repetitive effort and accelerate execution.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape enterprise software, Invera remains focused on delivering practical innovation specifically for the metals industry. With INVEX AI and Ivy, metal companies will be able to leverage modern AI technologies, helping teams work faster, make better decisions, and improve operational efficiency across the enterprise.
